“Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra has set a historic new record, crossing the 3 lakh mark in just 12 days”, Sinha wrote on X on Tuesday.

The number of pilgrims was rising day by day although the Ice-Shivling in the cave shrine has already melted, likely due to climate warming.
A large number of unregistered pilgrims have also reached Jammu as a result of which the LG has urged pilgrims not to come without prior registration.
